I've never been able to focus on audiobooks. I listen for a little while then realize I have missed a few minutes. They just don't hold my attention.

me too. My mind tends to wander, so I listen to NPR. I get annoyed when I can't tivo it, though.

Pennsic

I wanna go!

I'm a fan of the audiobooks. I don't have time to read, so my commuting time becomes my reading time. Lately, I'm using my commuting time for thinking about my book, so the audiobooks have been but on hiatus.

Audiobooks don't work on long trips though, but only because I'm not by myself on long trips and DW isn't into having the radio on for anything.

Steph - yes! I was going to say that, except I wasn't sure people would know what it was.

Is maybe glad Emily hasn't been in Natter for a while.

Oh god. Have you been playing that version? Or did someone fuck Bill O'Reilly and it was insensitive of me to mention it? WHAT???

Seska... oof. Explaining Pennsic. Um, it's a war? And there's merchants selling stuff, and... you might be better off googling, I think.

Not an audiobook person. They just don't hold my attention and I resent not having a book to hold. I don't like e-readers either, although I certainly see their appeal and I think they're a godsend for busy editors and agents, in that they can download multiple manuscripts onto an e-reader rather than lug around pages.

When I drive, I have music and in our family, the rule is, whoever's driving, gets final say on the music choice. Since I do most of the driving... (What? I'm a control freak.) Actually, even when Lewis is driving I have something of a say, because he has a bad habit of falling asleep at the wheel and if he expects me to stay awake and talk to him, then I can't have music on that will put me to sleep. (King Crimson, OMG, puts me RIGHT OUT.)

Best thing we ever did though was buy satellite radio for both our cars. No more searching for stations in podunky counties.

The cats are onto us in regard to corralling them into the office every morning so that the construction guys don't let them out. It is getting more difficult every day to get them - in fact, Bianca (the oldest) has evaded us for 3 of the last 4 working days. I'm having PG-related insomnia, so I'm already tired and cranky when I wake in the morning and chasing cats around our dirty house really doesn't start my day on a good note.

It is really stressful and I'm starting to resent the cat and get upset with DW because I feel like she's putting the cat above me, her pregnant wife. To me, you try to get the cat. If you don't succeed, the cat stays out and you put notes on all exterior doors letting workmen know to keep doors closed as a cat is on the loose. She says they always leave the doors open and eventually the cat will get out and "will get killed." Granted, we live on a busy street, but the cat would get out into an interior hallway inside of our security building. Chances are high that it would not get out and get killed. Her solution is to keep the cats locked in the office 24/7 until the remodel is over and she will sleep on the futon in there with them, leaving me alone in our bedroom. We have at least another month of the remodel. I am just so frustrated with this stupid situation!

That's what Perkins meant in the quote below:

DINAO has soiled the pristine pixels of Natter.

There's also BINAO (B = both).

I think that was the worst of it.

I love both DINAO and BINAO.

When I get bored with one, I will switch to the other.

But what if BINAO?
